Public bug reported:
I recently started using Ubuntu Dapper, and there's one single issue
that made it hard to use: it's relatively hard to find information
specific for the version I use.
There are now five Ubuntu versions (one current, one in development, two
supported, one obsolete). On the internet, most articles are about
"Ubuntu", not about "Dapper" or "Hoary". Also, the Ubuntu wiki pages
very often don't specify what version they refer to.
This led me to numerous dead-ends while searching (with Google) for all
sorts of informations. (From "are there accelerated drivers for my
graphic chipset?" (I have a laptop with an Intel i9xx chipset, and I
_think_ it's accelerated.) to "how do I get application X?" or even "can
I use application X?")
I suggest at least investigating a way to clearly mark (and to ease
finding) what version of Ubuntu each page of the wiki refers to.
Perhaps increasing a bit the focus on each version's name (currently
articles on the net are often "Review of the latest Ubuntu" or "How to
use X with Ubuntu" instead of "Review of Ubuntu Dapper"). This would
focus a bit Google searches.
